After months of rumours, former ROH World Champion Kyle O’Reilly finally made his NXT debut during yesterday night’s NXT tapings from Full Sail University.
During his debut, Reilly faced the NXT Star Aleister Black in a one on one match and unfortunately lost. What’s interesting to note here is that WWE allowed him to retain his ring name from the independent circuit instead of giving him a new identity.
You can check out some photos of Kyle’s debut yesterday night posted by fans in attendance below:
